Berrettini’s emphatic win improved his head-to-head record against Medvedev to 1-3, setting up a third-round clash with either Joao Fonseca or Arthur Rinderknech.
In a post-match statement to ATP, Berrettini expressed his satisfaction with his performance, highlighting his effective game plan and execution against a tough opponent like Medvedev. The Italian player emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and serving well, leading to his comprehensive victory.
